The village is well linked with the other villages, and neighbouring Val D’Isere, by a fast and modern lift network.

LIFT & BUS LINKS TIGNES LES BREVIERES

Tignes Les Brevieres is linked to other Tignes villages during the day by a modern gondola (Brevieres Telecabine) then a free resort shuttle bus between Tignes 1800 and Tignes 2100, meaning non skiers can get around independently. For winter 2023/24 this lift is open in the evenings to connect the Tignes resorts for apres ski. This changes weekly and opening information can be found on the chalk board at the foot of the lift. Tignes Le Lac, Tignes Le Lavachet and Tignes Val Claret (collectively know as Tignes 2100) are purpose built resorts with large apartment buildings with a selection of shops, cafes and restaurants. In Tignes Le Lac there is a swimming centre with leisure pool and slides.
